Chapter 431 Flying Insect ~ Flying Insect ~ (Ch 431)

The assistant was mysterious and refused to say anything.

Qi Jia had no choice but to follow her in confusion. After twists and turns, they arrived at the edge of the village. Walking further out, there were large tracts of farmland.

Under the moonlight,

Outside the illumination range of the street lamp, with the weak residual light, Qi Jia saw a high ground not far ahead.

Two figures, one big and one small, were busy taking out some glass jars that were flashing fluorescent light from a big bag and placing them on the lawn.

When I walked over, I saw that it was Zhou Ye and Wang Shengdi. They were both wearing shorts and short T-shirts, looking very cool.

Looking at the glass jars on the ground again, Qi Jia couldn’t help but squat down, looking at this jar and touching that jar, and asked in surprise,

“Where did you catch so many fireflies?”

“We didn’t catch it~” Zhou Ye’s eyes were twinkling with stars. She blinked and said excitedly: “We stole it from the warehouse of the props group.”

Qi Jia was stunned after hearing what he heard. These three people were so bold! If the props teacher found out that so many items were missing, he would definitely be jumping up and down and cursing!

Just as I was about to speak, I heard the assistant speak first.

“Brother, don’t listen to Sister Zhou Ye’s nonsense. It wasn’t stolen.”

Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a joke. He almost had a heart attack.

“Where did you catch so many?” Qi Jia asked curiously.

“Let me tell you, let me tell you~” Before the assistant could answer, Little Orange raised his hand and said excitedly, “You can’t say I stole it. You should say I took it from the warehouse, right, Sister Yiran?”

…Qi Jia’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot,

Seeing that the young assistant looked teachable and was touching Xiaojuzi’s head with appreciation, Qi Jia felt his temples throbbing and felt that his reputation would be ruined sooner or later.

I wanted to ask the three of them to put the fireflies back quickly, but seeing that they all looked so happy,

Qi Jia’s inner tangle was relieved at once. It was just a few cans of fireflies. What was a big deal? Their happiness was the most important thing.

Besides, how can an actor’s work be called stealing?

“Have you ever seen fireflies before? When I was a kid, there would be lots of fireflies in the village every summer, and my sister and I would go out with jars to catch them.

Then, I put them in the bed, and lay down on the bed and watched them fly around in front of my eyes, twinkling like stars…”

The three girls sat cross-legged on the lawn, listening to Qi Jia’s vivid description of his childhood.

The three girls have lived in the city since they were young, and they don’t have the same experience as Qi Jia.

This was the first time I saw fireflies tonight, so I couldn’t help but pick a few out to play with.

At this moment, Qi Jia’s description of the fireflies flying all over the sky sounded like a fairy tale to them.

“Won’t they fly away?” Little Orange raised his hand and asked curiously.

Qi Jia rubbed her head and said with a smile: “There is a mosquito net. Put down the mosquito net and they won’t be able to fly out.”

“Oh, yes, that’s how it is, haha.” Little Orange suddenly understood, clapped his hands happily and laughed.

“It’s so beautiful just thinking about it, it would be nice if I could see it.”

Zhou Ye was lying on the lawn, holding a can of fireflies in his hands, looking at them in a trance, with infinite yearning in his tone.

The young assistant and Xiaojuzi were standing on Zhou Ye’s left and right, each resting their heads on one of his thighs, also holding a jar of fireflies in their hands, staring at them in a trance.

“Then let’s just release all the fireflies.”

As soon as Qi Jia finished speaking, the three girls jumped up from the ground as if they were equipped with springs, blinked their bright eyes and looked at him, saying in unison,

“Do you keep your word?”

“Don’t you need to return it?”

“Is life over?”

Qi Jia smiled, and under the expectant gazes of the three people, he picked up six or seven glass jars and walked to the wall of the slope and sat down.

The three girls followed closely behind and brought over the remaining dozen or so glass jars.

The four of them sat beside a cement brick wall, with acres of green rice fields at their feet. The evening breeze blew, and the rice stalks rustled as they rubbed against each other.

“Why are you all standing there? Get started!” Qi Jia called out and directly opened one of the lids.

Seeing this, the three girls laughed happily and opened the lids of all the glass jars with their hands and feet.

Then the four of them held their breath and looked at the mouth of the tank with excitement.

…one, two, three…like large pieces of tiny starlight floating up from the ground,

In the sky, fireflies were flying all over, drawing glowing arcs, entwining, gathering, and dispersing, interweaving to form a dazzling galaxy in front of the four people.

A breeze blew by, and the Milky Way turned into stars again, floating over the rice fields.

“It would be nice if I could see it all the time.” The assistant hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and said with some regret.

Little Orange was sitting next to her, covering a firefly with both hands, squinting his eyes and looking through the gaps between his fingers, laughing happily.

Zhou Ye sat quietly beside Qi Jia, with her hands on the ground, shaking her glowing white calves, with a slight smile on her lips. Qi Jia’s profile was reflected in her sparkling eyes.

Suddenly, she began to hum softly.

“The dark sky hangs low, with bright stars following”

“The insects are flying~ The insects are flying~”

“Who are you missing?”

“…”

At first, she was the only one humming, and then the assistant and Xiaojuzi started humming along.

The three of them sang and swayed to the rhythm.

In the rice fields below,

At some point, many unknown insects began to play along.

The sounds of people and insects merge into one…

Qi Jia smiled and took out his cell phone. He used a glass jar to make a stand, put the phone in place, clicked to start recording, then sat back and swayed with them.

…When the song was finished, the four of them burst into laughter.

Suddenly, Zhou Ye sat up straight, cupped his hands into a trumpet shape, put them to his mouth, and shouted loudly at the rice field in front of him,

“Ah~~~We’re going to be good friends for life!”

Qi Jia was startled and was about to ask if this would disturb others, but the assistant and Xiaojuzi had already started shouting.

“Ah~~~ I want to be your assistant for life!”

“Ah~~~~I want to be my brother’s sister forever!”

After the three of them finished shouting, they all looked at Qi Jia with blinking eyes.

Zhou Ye raised his curved eyebrows proudly, as if to say, “Don’t you dare to shout?”

For some reason, Qi Jia felt as if he saw tears in her eyes.

It was probably an illusion. Qi Jia didn’t think much about it. Under the stares of the three girls, he could only cup his hands around his mouth into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly,

“We will always be good friends, and we will be happy all our lives!”

His voice echoed in the empty fields, and then a few dogs barked from the village.

“The dog said he wanted to take it with him,” Qi Jia spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile.

After saying this, the four of them burst into laughter at the same time. Hearing this arrogant laughter, the dogs in the village barked even louder.

…

After the madness, the four of them lay on the lawn, looking at the starry sky above their heads. Qi Jia thought of many things, and he became a little absent-minded as he thought.

“Brother, eat a popsicle.”

The assistant suddenly handed him a popsicle.

“You are well prepared,” Qi Jia took it and joked.

Looking at Zhou Ye and Xiaojuzi again, they were already holding a popsicle in one hand and an ice cream in the other, taking bites from the left and the right. They were not afraid of having stomachaches even after eating so many cold things.

“Brother, potato chips, spicy strips, and a scallion, which one do you want to eat?” the assistant said again.

Qi Jia was no longer calm and looked at the plastic bag next to the assistant.

In addition to the ones she just mentioned, there were also chicken feet, braised eggs, dried sweet potatoes, etc. The variety was quite rich.

“Sure, we even have midnight snacks.” Qi Jia smiled and picked up a chicken claw and started to eat it.

As he was chewing, he suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped, looked at the assistant, and asked in a trembling voice,

“The village store closed early in the morning. Where did you buy it?”

Seeing Qi Jiacai finally react, Zhou Ye burst out laughing with great joy.

The assistant said nothing, just holding the pig’s trotter, shaking his head and biting it non-stop.

Little Orange snapped open another bag of potato chips, took out a piece and threw it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, and said incoherently,

“No need to buy, we got them all from the warehouse. Don’t worry, brother. If you’re not enough, we have more in the warehouse.”
